A traveler and a Syrian shepherd once had a little argument. The traveler insisted that sheep knew the dress of their master, not his voice. The shepherd, on the other hand, insisted that it was the voice they knew.
So, to settle the dispute, he and the traveler exchanged clothes and went among the sheep. The traveler in the shepherd’s dress began to call the sheep and tried to lead them, but they didn’t know his voice and never moved. However, when their own shepherd began calling them, even though he was disguised, they all ran at once after him.
